Weight gain is associated with improvement in activities of daily living in underweight rehabilitation inpatients: a nationwide survey.
Article in European journal of clinical nutrition, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
We retrospectively analysed large-scale, nationwide data from the Kaifukuki (convalescent) Rehabilitation Ward (KRW) survey of 2015. Patients were classified into two groups based on changes in body mass index (BMI) during their KRW stay: increased BMI and non-increased BMI. The primary outcome was motor functional independence measure (FIM) score at discharge, and the secondary outcomes were motor FIM gain and full oral intake at discharge. We analysed 4605 patients (64% women; mean age, 79.3 years). Of these patients, 1128 and 3477 were classified into the increased and non-increased groups, respectively. Multivariate analysis showed that BMI increases were independently associated with motor FIM scores at discharge (partial regression coefficient = 1.165; 95% confidence interval, 0.671-1.659) and motor FIM gains, although BMI increase was not associated with full oral intake. Thus, increasing body weight might lead to activities of daily life improvement in underweight patients undergoing post-acute rehabilitation.
